Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim to BBC Match of the Day after the 2-0 defeat against West Ham: "I think it's quite similar to some games that we've had, especially at the end of this season. We have more chances than the opponent and then we suffer two goals that we can avoid. There's a lack of urgency when we're defending our box. There's a lack of urgency when we are near the box.

"We need to be more aggressive and we need to feel that it is the end of the world when we are not winning a game. Especially when we are not winning.

"So it's a big problem that we have here at the club. It's a decisive moment in the history of the club. We need to address that.

"It's a big problem because it's mentally. We are not scared of losing a game as Manchester United. We don't have that fear anymore and that is the most dangerous thing that a big club can have.

"I think it's a concern. It's not the players fault. It's my fault, I'm responsible. If we cannot change that really fast we should give our place to different people.

"We need to perform in a better way. Of course it's not the best thing we are changing all the time. A lot of players are tired, we have to manage that. That is also a concern. We should be prepared to play in the middle of the week.

"We need to change things. Only we can change things. We are missing that feeling of urgency and it's something which is hard to explain.

"Everybody is focused on the final. The final is not the biggest thing in our football club. We need to change a lot of things. If we don't change the way we play and perform and feel this urgency of winning every game, we should not play in the Champions League. We should just stay in the Premier League and learn how to be competitive one week at a time.

"The biggest focus on our football club is to change a lot of things. It's not just the final."

On Leny Yoro's injury: "We hope it's nothing serious. We will assess the player but I think it is a small thing.

I am not sure who would want to watch this game? Manchester United's second string versus such a poor West Ham side with nothing to play for is not exactly essential viewing, is it?

The Europa League final is going to be Ruben Amorim's focus for the rest of the season and Brentford made the most of that when they beat a weakened United team last weekend.

I am not sure the Hammers are as dynamic as Brentford in attack, however, so they may not be capable of doing the same thing.

A lot depends on the United team selection, though. It is hard enough making predictions anyway, but its even harder when there could be mass changes, and you don't know whether it is the United first team who are going to play, or be more like the youth team.

That makes this more of a guess, when I am used to applying science to my predictions, but I wish I had gone for West Ham to draw with Tottenham last week, and I am not going to make the same mistake this time.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Manchester United are set to take on Tottenham Hotspur in Bilbao in the Europa League final.

A European trophy could redeem what has been a forgettable domestic season for the club.

Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against West Ham (kick-off 14:15 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• He said his key players "will play" between now and the Europa League final but will "protect the players that can get an injury" by rotating his squad.

• He added: "It's better to play than to stay out."

• On being more careful in training to prevent injuries: "I don't have that in me. I will always push forward, but of course I will try to manage everything. They don't need a lot of load now, so the training [sessions] are going to be soft in that department. They will push each other."

• In response to the criticism of his approach in Premier League matches: "We are trying to do our best but I agree we can do better. I don't have anything to say about the criticism, because we deserve it. If we cannot accept everything in this kind of season, I think we are in the wrong business. I fully acknowledge that and I agree with all the critics."

• More on comments by former United captain Roy Keane on his side's record: "We have to take the risk to get a lot of criticism from everybody, because the standards of Roy Keane and all these guys are really high. But I have to make a choice. What is best for the club, not what is best for me. I make a choice. In this moment I'm going to save and try to save all the players, because it's really important for us to win the final."

• Going into Sunday's game he said they "have to use every game to improve and prepare for the final, but especially to prepare for the future" as "we cannot save nothing from the Premier League".

• The senior players will be on the post-season tour to Malaysia and Hong Kong, with Amorim adding it "is a good thing" for the club as they "are trying to build something as a family" and the more time they get together the better.

Manchester United do perform better in Europe.

In the Premier League, both United and Tottenham have massively lacked consistency but have been able to do it in Europe. If you look at the tournament, United knocked out two Spanish sides and one French side.

It is a 'get out of jail free' card for both teams. It allows whoever wins the Europa League to say "it was a terrible season but we escaped, we have a place in the Champions League and it gives us some money".

I think the trophy is big for Ruben Amorim because it will offer a little bit of belief in his methods. The financial side of being in the Champions League would also open doors for Manchester United.

We asked you to tell us how you are getting to Bilbao for Manchester United's Europa League final against Tottenham.

Here are some of your comments:

Daniel: We're driving! Manchester - Lincoln - Dover - Calais- La Rochelle - Mundaka - Bilbao. We have hotels booked but taking a tent in the back of the car just in case.

Andrew: Man Utd fan living near Blackpool. Flying to Malaga, nine-hour train up to Bilbao on Tuesday 20th, reverse journey early Thursday am, home late Thursday 22nd.

Allan: My sons booked flights and accommodation before we played Bilbao and they are taking their 76-year-old dad with them. We have a stopover in Milan for two hours on the flight there.

Bryan: Bilbao was amazing for the semi with the Athletic fans - one of the most passionate and friendly we've met on our Euro away travels. Will be hard to replicate that atmosphere for the final but we'll try. I've booked up a trip for 25 of us to Bordeaux that'll be our base and we'll be heading in by road from there!

Rick: If I did get a ticket for the Europa League final, I wouldn't go because of the rip-off prices on all the options. A day trip by plane £800 from Manchester, if you wanted to stay a night, hotels are charging over £2,000. If you went by ferry from Plymouth, that's nearly £800 plus a hotel for a couple of nights. I will stay at home and watch the game on TV, with a bottle of wine, way cheaper....

We asked for your views on Manchester United's Europa League semi-final second leg win over Athletic Bilbao.

Here are some of your comments:

David: So pleased for Mason Mount. Great to see a smile on his face after all the injury misery.

Zamani: United started the game poorly, but were very effective in the second half thanks to Amorim's superb substitutions. They will need a better performance against Spurs to stand any chance.

Paul: For 71 minutes, the Sunday league team I played for made fewer mistakes and were better! For the final 20 minutes though, United played like Barcelona!

Simon: So pedestrian from United from the start. Sat back, passed sideways and backwards and just invited pressure. If Athletic had had their three best attackers fit, the nightmare scenario could have unfolded. Thankfully, the subs changed the tempo and on we go.

Adz: I am absolutely stunned at the difference a couple of substitutions can make. This game showed it - Amad Diallo and Mount were fantastic. Amad was the engine United needed and lifted everyone in the squad. Hopefully, they will start in the final.

Mohbeen: A lot of fans have rightly been critical of this squad, but you have to admire Amorim sticking to his philosophy. He's had very little time to work with the squad and the injuries haven't helped. You can see what he's trying to do and the massive hug from Casemiro after coming off shows the squad believe in him. He just needs the Europa League win and a few pivotal additions in the summer and this team will surprise next season.

Guess the current Manchester United player from these three clues:

• I became the world's most expensive player in my position when United signed me.

• I started the Euro 2020 final.

• I scored a controversial winning goal against my former club in an FA Cup tie in February.

Former Manchester United defender Phil Jones is confident Mason Mount can play a big part in Ruben Amorim's side going forward.

The 26-year-old's time at United has been blighted with injuries but his first two goals under the Old Trafford lights on Thursday were a glimpse of what fans can look forward to.

"I am delighted for him," Jones told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily podcast. "It is always difficult when you are out for a lengthy spell because all you want to do is play football.

"He works extremely hard and he wants to prove himself to people at this football club.

"When you allow him to play wherever and be free, you get the best out of him. The energy he brings on to the pitch with his pressing, alongside his tracking back and sprinting, his all-around game is brilliant.

"He is a wonderful player and he has shown that for England along with a good goalscoring record on both his left and right foot.

"They have just got to keep him fit now and he has got to look after himself. There are not many games left so it is up to the manager to manage his minutes.

"Keeping Bruno Fernandes, Amad and Mount fit is absolutely vital."
